It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Advanced Standing MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar. Students must complete at least 50 percent of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5:00 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements. Many social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made. The UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>32</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans. For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies Funding website, which describes the types of financial assistance available at UCF and provides general guidance in planning your graduate finances. The Financial Information section of the Graduate Catalog is another key resource.</p><h2>Fellowship Information</h2><p>Fellowships are awarded based on academic merit to highly qualified students. They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies. Fellowships are given to support a student's graduate study and do not have a work obligation. For more information, see UCF Graduate Fellowships, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p><p>The MSW Advanced Standing tracks allow no more than one C grade or 3 credit hours (whichever is greater) to be used toward the degree requirements. Exceeding three credit hours or one C grade is grounds for dismissal from the MSW Advanced Standing tracks.</p><p>Previous baccalaureate coursework will be reviewed to ensure content equivalency. In advanced standing admission, a maximum of 30 foundation-level credits may be waived based on the content equivalency to meet foundation MSW admission requirements, which consist of courses in human behavior and the social environment, policy, research, social work practice, and social work field placement.</p><p>Educational standards for all social work programs are established by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), the national accreditation body for professional social work education. Curriculum direction and content is regulated by the CSWE through its accreditation standards. The MSW program at UCF is fully accredited through CSWE.</p><p><em><strong>Required Sequence of Curriculum</strong></em></p><p>*The Online MSW is primarily an asynchronous program, which means that courses are generally not held during a fixed meeting time. However, there are some courses where synchronous, or \"live\" sessions are a required component of the course assignments. Because an MSW is a professional degree that allows students to engage directly with clients, synchronous sessions are put in place to support student's skills and evaluation in this area.<br/>Some of the courses that may have required live components as a part of an assignment include but are not limited to SOW 6324 Clinical Social Work Practice with Groups and SOW 6433 Clinical Evaluation in Social Work Practice.

It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge; to develop and refine both foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Clinical MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar. Students must complete at least 50% of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements. Many social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement finger printing, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made. The UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>32</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><p>For information on general UCF graduate admissions requirements that apply to all prospective students, please visit the Admissions section of the Graduate Catalog.

It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Generalist MSW students complete a minimum of 400 hours in the field; clinical MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar. Students must complete at least 50% of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements. Many social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made. The UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>62</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><p>For information on general UCF graduate admissions requirements that apply to all prospective students, please visit the Admissions section of the Graduate Catalog.

It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Generalist MSW students complete a minimum of 400 hours in the field; clinical MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar.\n\nStudents must complete at least 50% of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements.\n\nMany social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made.\n\nThe UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><h3>Grand Total Credits:<!-- --> <strong>62</strong></h3></div><h1>Application Requirements</h1><p>For information on general UCF graduate admissions requirements that apply to all prospective students, please visit the <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/catalog/graduate/#/content/60a2ce84c9d8ad001bc0c0d3\">Admissions</a> section of the Graduate Catalog.

It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Generalist MSW students complete a minimum of 400 hours in the field; clinical MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar. Students must complete at least 50% of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements. Many social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made. The UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>62</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><p>For information on general UCF graduate admissions requirements that apply to all prospective students, please visit the Admissions section of the Graduate Catalog.

of graduate social work education. It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Generalist MSW students complete a minimum of 400 hours in the field; clinical MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar.\n\nStudents must complete at least 50% of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements.\n\nMany social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made.\n\nThe UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><h3>Grand Total Credits:<!-- --> <strong>62</strong></h3></div><h1>Application Requirements</h1><p>For information on general UCF graduate admissions requirements that apply to all prospective students, please visit the <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/catalog/graduate/#/content/60a2ce84c9d8ad001bc0c0d3\">Admissions</a> section of the Graduate Catalog.

These essential functions define the minimal professional, cognitive, and behavioral abilities required for successful program completion, as well as entry-level clinical social work practice. Students admitted into the MSW Program will sign an acknowledgment that they understand they must adhere to these functions in order to be in good standing and remain in the MSW Program.</p> <p><strong>Students unable to meet the Essential Functions requirement will have their offer of admission rescinded.</strong></p> <p>The School of Social Work reserves the right to refuse student entrance or dismiss a student after admission to the MSW program if, in the judgment of the faculty, the student demonstrates behavior incompatible with working in the field of social work and/or violates the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics.</p> <p>MSW graduates from CSWE accredited programs outside of UCF who need to complete a field placement for Florida licensure (LCSW) must apply to the MSW program as a full-time or part-time second-year clinical student.</p><h1>Financial Information</h1><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

They are selected in consultation with the Online MSW advisor and MSW Program Director.</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Field Experience</h3> 8 Total Credits <ul><li>Earn at least 8 credits from the following types of courses: Clinical Field Education and Integrative Seminars Field instruction is an integral part of graduate social work education. It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Advanced Standing MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar. Students must complete at least 50 percent of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5:00 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements. Many social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made. The UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>32</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans. For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies Funding website, which describes the types of financial assistance available at UCF and provides general guidance in planning your graduate finances. The Financial Information section of the Graduate Catalog is another key resource.</p><h2>Fellowship Information</h2><p>Fellowships are awarded based on academic merit to highly qualified students. They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies. Fellowships are given to support a student's graduate study and do not have a work obligation. For more information, see UCF Graduate Fellowships, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p><p>The MSW Advanced Standing tracks allow no more than one C grade or 3 credit hours (whichever is greater) to be used toward the degree requirements. Exceeding three credit hours or one C grade is grounds for dismissal from the MSW Advanced Standing tracks.</p><p>Previous baccalaureate coursework will be reviewed to ensure content equivalency. In advanced standing admission, a maximum of 30 foundation-level credits may be waived based on the content equivalency to meet foundation MSW admission requirements, which consist of courses in human behavior and the social environment, policy, research, social work practice, and social work field placement.</p><p>Educational standards for all social work programs are established by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), the national accreditation body for professional social work education. Curriculum direction and content is regulated by the CSWE through its accreditation standards. The MSW program at UCF is fully accredited through CSWE.</p><p><em><strong>Required Sequence of Curriculum</strong></em></p><p>*The Online MSW is primarily an asynchronous program, which means that courses are generally not held during a fixed meeting time. However, there are some courses where synchronous, or \"live\" sessions are a required component of the course assignments. Because an MSW is a professional degree that allows students to engage directly with clients, synchronous sessions are put in place to support student's skills and evaluation in this area.<br/>Some of the courses that may have required live components as a part of an assignment include but are not limited to SOW 6324 Clinical Social Work Practice with Groups and SOW 6433 Clinical Evaluation in Social Work Practice. Dates and times of live sessions will be announced before the course begins, or in some courses, multiple options are provided.</p><p><br/><strong>First Semester (Fall)</strong></p><ul> <li>SOW 6123 - Psychosocial Pathology <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6424 - Theories for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice in Social Work <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul><p><strong>Second Semester (Spring)</strong></p><ul> <li>SOW 6348 - Clinical Practice with Individuals <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6612 - Clinical Practice with Families <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6561 - Part-Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar I <strong>3</strong><strong> Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul><p><strong>Third Semester (Summer)</strong></p><ul> <li>SOW 6324 - Clinical Practice with Groups <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>Clinical Elective <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>SOW 6562 - Part Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar II <strong>3 </strong><strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul><p><strong>Fourth Semester (Fall)</strong></p><ul> <li>SOW 6433 - Clinical Evaluation in Social Work Practice <strong>3</strong> <strong>Credit Hours</strong></li> <li>Clinical Elective </li> <li>SOW 6563 - Part-Time MSW Clinical Field and Integrative Seminar III <strong>2 Credit Hours</strong></li> </ul><p><strong>Transfer Credit</strong></p><p>Academic credit for life experience and previous work experience shall not be given, in whole or in part, in lieu of Social Work courses required to fulfill degree requirements.</p><p><strong>Due to the cohort nature of the track and university policy, transfer credits will not be considered for the market-based, fully online part-time Advanced Standing track.</strong></p><p><strong>Cost Per Credit Hour</strong></p><p>For the Online Part-Time Advanced Standing Social Work track in the Social Work MSW program, the cost per credit hour is $487.45.*</p><p>*Includes all university fees, which may be subject to change.</p><p><strong>Tuition waivers are not accepted for the Online MSW.</strong></p><p><strong>Independent Learning</strong></p><p>Independent learning is demonstrated throughout the curriculum through the process of inquiry and dialogue.

The second year of study includes 18 credit hours of class work and 6 credit hours in the field. The third year of study includes 12 credit hours of class work and 8 credit hours in the field.</p> <p>The MSW program is designed to prepare students to become successful practitioners in the field of clinical social work. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics is upheld and reinforced throughout the academic curriculum. Violations of the NASW Code of Ethics may result in academic sanctions or dismissal from the program.</p> <p>Students who apply for admission into the fully online, part-time MSW track will not be permitted to switch to the on-campus MSW track due to the strict cohort model the fully online track follows.</p> <p>This track is completed entirely online and charges an enhanced tuition rate. As such, Online MSW students are not permitted to simultaneously enroll in any graduate or certificate programs through UCF aside from the Military Social Work Graduate Certificate. Please visit UCF Online for additional information about tuition and fees.</p> <p>The 62-hour MSW program is composed of 39 credit hours of required core and advanced clinical specialization courses. In addition, students complete 9 credit hours of electives and 14 credit hours of field experience. Independent learning is demonstrated throughout the curriculum through the process of inquiry and dialogue.

graduate social work education. It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Generalist MSW students complete a minimum of 400 hours in the field; clinical MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar.\n\nStudents must complete at least 50% of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements.\n\nMany social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement finger printing, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made.\n\nThe UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><h3>Grand Total Credits:<!-- --> <strong>62</strong></h3></div><h1>Application Requirements</h1><h1>Financial Information</h1><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

"description": "<p>Social workers are professionals who care about people, want to assist in improving the well-being of others, and want their work to make a difference through services provided to individuals, families, groups, communities, and society. Social work is an academic discipline that promotes social change, and empowerment for their clients in a practice-based field. Few occupations can match the range of opportunities available to social work professionals.</p>\r\n\r\n<strong>BACHELOR OF SOCIAL WORK AT UCF</strong>\r\n<p>The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program affords students the opportunity to learn how to engage, assess, and intervene with clients to help enhance their quality of life and achieve social justice. Students need to apply and be accepted to this limited-access program. There are opportunities for students to enhance their study by earning certificates and minors within this program of study. This well-planned program exposes students to the latest social work theory with practical application in a variety of social service agencies including healthcare, schools, child welfare, criminal justice and more.</p>\r\n\r\n<strong>Field Education</strong>\r\n<p>Field education is a central component of the BSW curriculum. The internship provides the opportunity for students to apply and integrate classroom learning into practice for a total of 420 hours which averages out to 28 hours per week. The internship may be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Students are placed at community partner organizations through our Field Education Department in their final semester(s) as a BSW student.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>The BSW is a limited access major, requiring a separate application. Please go to the <a href=\"https://healthprofessions.ucf.edu/socialwork/bachelors/\">BSW website</a> for more information about admission requirements, prerequisite classes, and the application process.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<strong>Optional Certificates and Minors:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/aging-studies-certificate/\">Aging Studies Certificate</a></li>\r\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/aging-studies-minor/\">Aging Studies Minor</a></li>\r\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/childrens-services-certificate/\">Children's Services Certificate</a></li>\r\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/nonprofit-management-minor-minor/\">Nonprofit Management Minor</a></li>\r\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/spanish-for-social-workers-certificate/\">Spanish for Social Work Certificate</a></li>\r\n</ul>",

This examination is based on knowledge of the literature and culture of Spain and Hispanic America and/or on concepts of linguistic theory and analysis. Since this examination will be given toward the end of the coursework (only during fall and spring semesters), it is expected that the student will have developed an ability to analyze literature, culture, and linguistics at the graduate level. It is also expected that the responses, both written and oral, will show an excellent command of the Spanish language. The oral examination will follow the written examination and will allow students to expand more readily on particular points of culture, literature, and linguistics, and to show ability in the use of the spoken language. If a student does not successfully pass both the written and oral comprehensive examinations, he or she may be able to retake the exams in the following semester (fall or spring). Thereafter, if the student does not pass the examinations the second time, he/she will be removed from the program. The Graduate Committee has developed a reading list of major Peninsular, Latin American, and Linguistics works and works by Hispanics in the U.S., with which the student must be familiar. The comprehensive examination is based on the entirety of the respective reading lists (primary and secondary areas) and the courses that the student has taken. </li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> All classes require a research paper or research project that allows students to engage in independent learning. The program also offers a thesis option. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>36</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Application Deadlines</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans. For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies Funding website, which describes the types of financial assistance available at UCF and provides general guidance in planning your graduate finances.

The oral examination will follow the written examination and will allow students to expand more readily on particular points of culture, literature, and linguistics, and to show ability in the use of the spoken language.\n\nIf a student does not successfully pass both the written and oral comprehensive examinations, he or she may be able to retake the exams in the following semester (fall or spring). Thereafter, if the student does not pass the examinations the second time, he/she will be removed from the program.\n\nThe Graduate Committee has developed a reading list of major Peninsular, Latin American, and Linguistics works and works by Hispanics in the U.S., with which the student must be familiar. The comprehensive examination is based on the entirety of the respective reading lists (primary and secondary areas) and the courses that the student has taken.\n</div></div></li></div></ul></div></div></section><section><header data-test=\"grouping-6-header\"><div><h2 data-testid=\"grouping-label\"><span>Independent Learning</span></h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>\nAll classes require a research paper or research project that allows students to engage in independent learning.
